Migrate your repositories from SVN to GIT, it's time !!

by Karan Arora — on  ,  ,  , 

  • Install git-svn on linux
  • git-svn clone <SVN repo link> my-new-project

Let's move the tags to be proper git tags

  • cp -Rf .git/refs/remotes/tags/* .git/refs/tags/
  • rm -Rf .git/refs/remotes/tags 

Move the references under refs/remotes:

  • cp -Rf .git/refs/remotes/* .git/refs/heads/
  • rm -Rf .git/refs/remotes

Add git server as remote

  • git remote add origin git@my-git-server:my-git-repo.git

Push it to github:

  • git push origin --all
